And 'ain't' ain't a word. But it is in the dictionary. And grammar rules change over time. The particular rule hasn't been held in college courses for nearly five years now - it was too limiting. The same is true for ending a sentence with 'of'. You'd never be able to say "Not that I know of," or "Here's something to think about."J-0080 wrote:OMG you started sentences with prepositions and conjunctions!

That's just one more reason people shouldn't try to be sticklers - grammar isn't math - the rules change with the times. A few years ago it wasn't proper to say "If you want something done, you have to do it yourself." Instead, the proper use was to be formal and say "Should a person wish to have something accomplished, he would have to do it on his own accord." Today if you use passive language, you get marked down on English papers - it's still formal, but no longer wanted in 'proper' English. The only time the old rules hold is when you are writing an Engineering or Scientific report where the passive tense encouraged rather than using 'the subject does' or 'the person adds' over and over.
Now...isn't it obvious why people flame instead of correcting grammar? It's harder to explain *why* something is an example of 'poor writing' than it is to simply say "learn to write noob".
